Spotted Bass
Spotted bass, also known as Kentucky bass, offer a fun alternative to largemouth around Kirbyville. These feisty fish thrive in the clearer, flowing waters of the Sabine River and its tributaries. While Sam Rayburn is known for largemouth, these river systems are where you'll find the spots. Spring and fall are ideal times to target them, as they become more active in moderate water temperatures. Look for rocky areas, current breaks, and submerged timber. Smaller crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged worms are effective lures. A local trick is to fish upstream, casting towards cover and retrieving with the current. Be aware of water levels, as heavy rains can make the rivers difficult to navigate. Access points are available along Highway 96 and other roads crossing the Sabine. The spotted bass here are generally smaller than largemouth, but they make up for it with their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights.
